So paying higer profit share or wage to construction wokers won't encouage more people to spend more time building stuff?

Did no one tell you about how competetive markets work? supernormal profits get bid down by market entry.

banks and oligopolistic top tier construction companies, and landowners don't want more construction, or entry into the market.

by your logic we should just offer people slave contracts and they'd opt in.

Unemployment isn't that high, people who don't work at the moment don't do so out of choice (because clearly unemployment isn't the best way to pay rent!) and we're talking about redistribution of wealth in all sectors, not just that one sector, so all wages would increase. You don't end up with more workers suddenly wanting to work construction (which are already well paid jobs in most locations which doesn't seem to help recruitment!), you still have the same unemployment rate and the same labor needs, you just redistributed wages in a more sensible way.

Hell, demand would probably increase in most sectors due to the general population having more money to spend instead of it being in the hands of so few people, that means more people required to make stuff without having more people to take those jobs!

Not if you remove the excesses of market power

Oh so you think people would suddenly have money and not want to buy the stuff they never had access to?
